๐จ OFFICIAL SELECTION ๐จ
We are proud to announce that Clutch Data is heading to the 2026 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference @SloanSportsConf
Weโve been selected to present our poster: "Scouting Roles, not Players." ๐๐
We are diving deep into how analytics can define specific roles to build better chemistry and more efficient rosters, moving beyond simple player rankings.
Operating globally with our roots in the European market, we are excited to bring our insights to Boston and mix it up with the best minds in the business.
Who else is making the trip on March 6-7? Letโs talk hoops and data! ๐
Check out a sneak peek of our poster below ๐

(11/12)
๐ Bayern Munich: The Flipped Identity
Bayern has had an identity flip. Theyโve improved on offense, partly by getting to the line more often. Last season they were dead last in free throw rate.
- Offensive Rating: 115.3 (8th), up from 110.5 (3rd from the bottom)
- Free throw rate: 31.2%
Defense is the opposite story. Their Defensive Rating collapsed from 113.6 (3rd) to 124.5 (19th), because they canโt contain opponentsโ shooting:
- Opponent eFG%: 59.8% (18th), up from 54.7% (9th)
